Answer:

B net income is overstated, assets are overstated, and stockholders' equity is overstated

Explanation:

The movement in the balance of inventory at the start and end of a period is as a result of sales and purchases. While sales reduces the balance in inventory, purchases increases the balance. This may be expressed mathematically as

Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = closing balance

Hence, where ending inventory balance is overstated, cost of goods sold is understated. When cost of goods sold is understated, gross and net incomes are overstated. Hence owner's equity is overstated and asset overstated.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

To determine the six month interest payment on a bond, you must multiply the face value of the bond times half the annual contract rate of the bond. The contract rate of the bond is the interest rate used to calculate the bond's coupon.

The market rate of the bond may or may not be equal to the contract rate. If the bond was sold at a premium, the market rate is lower than the contract rate. If the bond is sold at a discount, the market rate will be higher than the contract rate.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

At $7,5

Energizer sells 16,000 => Supply Energizer = 16,000

Duracell sells 12,000 => Supply Duracell = 12,000

Total Supply = 16,000+12,000

Brums [2.3K]

It all depends on the degree of consumer risk aversion. Some consumers are more likely to be at risk than others. If my propensity for risk in the face of the possibility of a premium is greater, I will prefer the adjustable hypotheca, which gives me the chance to pay less in the end. If I am a risk averse consumer, I will prefer a fixed hypotheque that will give predictability to my budget.

As a result of the organizing campaign at Champlain Products, the union obtained signed authorization cards from 41% of the empl
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

The next step is to conduct a secret ballot election which will be supervised by National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as might be required by the employer-Champlain products inorder to obtain voluntary support from the employees that the union wants to represent. The reason being that the management might decided not to recognize the card checks practise on the basis that a union without a secret ballot election is not reliable hence employees that signed the card might have been intimidated or coerced by the union to do so.

Where the management refuses to recognize the card check that was signed by at least 41% of the employees it wants to represent, management would then request for secret ballot election where employees would be able to vote confidentially without coercion or undue influence from the union or co-workers.
